'Resogun' is a much deeper experience than a first glance might suggest. The tools of the trade are at your fingertips, knowing how – and when – to use them will determine your success. And the Boost ability lets you speed around the 2D map, destroying everything in your path, ending with an area-effect shockwave blast. Overdrive is a powered up weapon unique to each of the three available ships. In addition to your main weapon you'll also have an occasional opportunity to utilize a screen-clearing bomb. Thankfully, the controls are easy enough to digest that even a rookie shmup (shoot 'em up) gamer like myself was able to quickly grasp.Īs a twin-stick shooter, you control your ship with the left stick while horizontally firing your weapon out the front or rear with the right. With no tutorial to speak of, you are immediately dropped into the action. While any semblance of story takes a backseat to the action and twitch-style game play, the addictive format and competitive score-chasing of 'Resogun' will undoubtedly melt away the time without the distraction of the contrived story that might have been unnecessarily inserted. Played on a track that spins on a vertical cylindrical plane, you fly one of three varieties of ships in either direction, managing both offensive and defensive stance as you are bombarded with waves of spawning enemies intent on your complete annihilation. 'Save the Last Human' are the first words you'll hear when starting a new game and are the pretense for the intense action that follows.
